My ex, the Special Forces guy sent me a box. He has debated sending me the stuff in the box for several years now so the thing is loaded.

We’re on the phone here and you can see having Mercury in signs that oppose, there is constant tension. And with both of us having Mercury in Cardinal and Masculine signs, we are overt about trying to control the other. It’s his Mercury in Aries, trying to rush me. Mercury rules your thinking, your timing and your nerves! It also rules the mail!

“Did that box get there yet? He asked.

“No! How am I going to get that box? You just mailed it. The soonest it will get here is today and probably not until tomorrow.”

“Okay. I just want to know if it got there. I want to know what you think of that stuff.”

“I know you do. You think I don’t know that? But you’re just going to have to wait! Because even when it gets here, I am not sure I am going to open it. I may not open if for awhile so just know that, okay? Just because it gets here does not mean I opened it.”

He laughed.

“I probably… I may have to leave that thing on the floor for awhile. It will probably take me a day at least so don’t be surprised if it’s here and I know nothing about it. Because I doubt I’ll open it right away. Actually that would be very unlikely. I will have to have it around awhile in the house. I’m going to put it on the floor and let some energy leak off. You know. Put it in the middle of the floor and walk around it for a while. Circle around it and spy it out of the corner of my eye. The whole thing makes me nervous.”

“What? Just open the thing! Open it!”

“What? Don’t order me! Don’t tell me what to do! Why are you ordering me? What makes you think you can? I know what you want. You want me to open it and I will as soon as I can. You gave it to me, so it’s my box, isn’t it? You want me to have it?”

“Yes.”

“Well that’s what I thought! So it’s mine. The box is mine to do with, whatever I want. So just let me do that. Leave me alone about it! Quit ordering me, because it’s my box so therefore, it is my business!”

“Okay, okay. Well just let me know when it gets there,” he said.

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

“Okay.”

He didn’t say anything.

“Is that all, then?”

“Yep.”

“Yep? Okay, bye.”

“Bye,” he said with his twang. “Bye, Elsa P.”

Do you have someone to spar with like this? Does your Mercury aspect theirs?
